1 Parameter Controlled By Multple Combo Boxes On A Form

Oct 3, 2007

Hi

I have been trying to set up this query via VBA code but, with no luck, have gone back to the query in design view. Basically the parameters of the query are determined by combo boxes in a form. This is fine if one combo box indicates one criteria but a problem arisis when multiple combo boxes are possible parameters for one field.

i.e. Field 1 = combo box one
field 2= combo box two
field three = combo box three, four or five.

i have found it difficult running this, especially in terms of a returning all if a combo is left blank. the problem with setting this up on field three would be that if i run combo box four and five to return all if left blank it overides the other command to set a specific parameter. Also, for some reason i can tdecide whether this is an AND or OR command, its actually both i.e. Field three parameter = combo box three and/or combo box4 etc...

please help this is driving me crazy.

Thanks

General :: Add Query Controlled From Combo Box On Nested Form

Sep 5, 2013

I am having an issue with a database application I created. I needed to add another query that could be controlled from combo box on a nested form.

The combo box is for dates for entries in a table. Which then filters the query based on the combo box selection. Easy enough stuff.

The problem I am having is that when I try to use the combo box as a criteria for the query using;

[Forms]![MasterForm]![NavigationSubform].[Form].[comboBox]

Access closes and wont let me use the reference to the combo box.

What has happened? Corrupt database? How do I fix it?

Forms :: Parameter Value Error When Doing Cascading Combo Boxes?

Jun 12, 2013

tried following Microsoft example and several others but my problem comes up when I click on Group in Ticket list, I get a parameter value popup. I know I'm getting it from my Where statement that is supposed to setup the row source for Category. I tried using numbers and text but I messed up somewhere when it comes to the vba.

Me.cboCategory.RowSource = "SELECT DISTINCT Category.Categories FROM" & _
" Category WHERE GroupName = " & Me.cboGroup & _
" ORDER BY Category.Categories"
Me.cboCategory = Me.cboCategory.ItemData(0)

Jul 15, 2005

Hi all im new to this and im trying to make a from that will display a sub from containg infomation that can be changed by altering a combo box.

Combo Box Controlled Query 2

Jul 29, 2005

sorry for the repeating of a previous thread but i have looked at all of the replys on the first combo box controlled query and have followed what was reccomended but i still have some problems. :(


i have three combo boxes and i want to query a single table with the selected combo options.

atm i am using the criteria part of a query to filter the results by the combo box
[forms]![Form1]![cboStaff]

this works well for one thing but when i want two i have put them in line which means AND so both combo boxes have to have a value in and then the query looks for combo box ones value with combobox 2's value.

is there any way i can make the value in the second combo box mean any result. which would effectivly turn the query into a search for just the first criteria set by the combo box???

please help i have been going round in circles trying to figure out how i am going to do this :confused:

Queries :: Multiple Combo Boxes And Text Boxes On A Search Form

Mar 24, 2014

I'm trying to build an database for aircraft operators. I've got the basic tables structure and relationships but I'm stuck on building an search form to filter records by user input.I've got following controls on my form (unbound):

1. AircraftType (combo box) from tblAircrafts
2. CompanyName (combo box) from tblListOfAircraftsOperators
3. TeailNumber (text box) from tblAircraftOperators
4. AirportNameSearch (combo box) from tblAirports

12. ExteriorPhot (bound object frame) from AircraftOperators

I need to enable users to search for aircrafts based on those criteria. As I mentioned I'm new to Access and I don't have any advanced coding skills. I have a query build to perform the search and this is the code I've managed to write so far:

SELECT AircraftOperators.RegistrationNumber, AircraftOperators.PassengersNumber, AircraftOperators.ManufactureYear, AircraftOperators.EmailToOperator, AircraftOperators.ExteriorPhoto, AircraftOperators.InteriorPhoto, tblListOfAircraftOperators.OpratorName, tblAircrafts.AircraftType
FROM tblAircrafts INNER JOIN (tblAirports INNER JOIN (AircraftOperators INNER JOIN tblListOfAircraftOperators ON AircraftOperators.CompanyName =

Queries :: Query By Form With Check Boxes / Combo Boxes Not Working

Forms :: Search Form Using Both Combo Boxes And Check Boxes

Jun 5, 2014

I am trying to make a search option in my form header. Right now I have two unbound combo boxes (CboAccountsfilter and cboCourseName) that I can use to filter my records. Currently, I can use the drop down for CboAccountsfilter and a list of accounts will appear. When I select one, the corresponding Course Names will appear in cboCourseName. This works fine...Code below. I would like to take the filtering a step farther and add checkboxes to filter the data. I my form, there currently exist several check boxes (yes/no)...(Priority, Rep Top Target, Manager Top Target, ect). I would like to have the option to use a check box to filter. I.E if I had a checkbox in my header called PriorityFilter, if checked it would only bring up those records that met the two combo boxes criteria and was a priority.

Below is the code I have so far...it doesnt have anything for the checkbox because I am at a lost of how to get started.

Private Sub CboAccountsfilter_Change()
Me.Requery
Me.cboCourseName.Requery
Me.Check178.Requery
End Sub

I have a word 2010 reports that is linked to an access 2010 form. SQL is used to populate the report with some of the fields from the form. Is it possible to create a combo-box with two selections (Mike, Paul) in it. And then have two other fields populate based on the selection in that combo-box? For example, if Mike is selected then an Address: and Phone Number: fields are filled in with his information. And if Paul is selected his information fills in.

Query With Combo On Form For Parameter

Dec 15, 2007

I have a report query that uses a combo box on a form to collect the parameters. I would like to be able to include an option that would be like not having any criteria at all, to show all the records. I have tried several combinations in the criteria to get it to work and haven't found a way yet.

IIf([Forms]![MyForm]![Mycbo]<0,Like"*",[Forms]![MyForm]![Mycbo])

I have tried various different versions of what you see above and none have worked. The true part and the false part both work if separated and tested. Is it possible to make this work or is there better way to do this?

Forms :: Parameter Query Using A Combo Box In A Form

Apr 23, 2013

I have a form with a main form and a subform, main form's function is to filter the data's inside the sub form using a combo box, right now I have one combo box which filters the data according to their control no so the output if I use say CtrlNo 1 in the combo box the data that will reflect in the subform would be the data's of CtrlNo 1 but now I'm planning to add another combo box that will filter who supplied that CtrlNo.

What I did is I used the same method from my first form that filters the CtrlNo but in this form I replaced the CtrlNo combo box to Supplier Combo box it worked great but now what it made me think is it possible to put this two filters in just one form?combo box 1 is for CtrlNo combo box 2 is for Supplier.

When I tried to create this it failed, when I filtered only the CtrlNo subform doesn't reflect any data this goes the same for the Supplier combo box but when I tried to choose a filter for both combo box say CtrlNo 1 and its Supplier this works fine but what I want is to have both filters to work even if I did not use both parameters is there any way to achieve this?

More Than Two Combo Boxes In A Form

Jan 28, 2005

Hello to everyone!

I have a serious issue to solve and I would like to ask for your help, as I just don't seem to know how and where to start from.

I need to make a database that will have 2 tables, say tbl_item and tbl_offer. The items table will have different cardboard dimensions and other characteristics (width, height, color, photo, price etc) while the tbl_offer will have different combinations of clients' cardboard requests.

The workflow is:

A client comes and asks for:

- two pieces of cardboard of 120x100 cm
- five pieces of cardboard of 135x90 cm
- one piece of cardboard of 110x125 cm

I want to be able to enter the client's request in a form and the form will do 2 things:

1. Store the clients request as a record in the table tbl_offer (for current or future referrence)
2. Create a report (out of the above record) that will be printed out and given to the client (but I suppose that's easy...)

Now tbl_item has different types of cardboard (their code names) along with different dimensions and price for each, for example:

Type|Width|Height|Price
----------------------------
001 | 120 | 100 | 10
001 | 135 | 190 | 12
001 | 110 | 125 | 11
001 | 110 | 100 | 16
001 | 150 | 100 | 12
002 | 165 | 170 | 17
002 | 140 | 105 | 10
002 | 140 | 130 | 18
002 | 170 | 130 | 18


The problems are

1. I don't know exactly how I can create a form (say frm_offer) that will give me the possibility to add many different cardboard types and save them as one offer to the tbl_offer. What I would like is to choose from a combobox (or any other similar function) the type (say 002) and by this selection a second combobox would be filled only with the available Width dimensions for this type (165, 140, 170). By choosing what I want from the width combobox, a third combobox would be available that would give me the available height dimensions for this width (if for example I chose Type 002 and Width 140, the last combobox would give me two choices, 105 and 130). After choosing the Height I want, I would fill in a text box of how many pieces the client wants and the form would also fill automatically the cost of all the pieces for that dimension (by taking the price/item from the tbl_item perhaps?). If 1 piece then it should say i.e. 18 for the 140x130 piece, if 10 pieces it should say 180. Finally, I want to add the photo of the cardboard automatically (pls note that same type of cardboards share the same photo) not at the form but at the report to be printed.

I have already looked in the Access FAQs section of the forum for the combobox techniques but I can't understand how I can apply them to three (or more) comboboxes plus the photo.

I can use Access only when little/no programming is required, and I am very much afraid that all the above will require a great deal of it, so I apologise in advance for my non-knowledge of programming :(

2. How do you think would be suitable to split all this data to tables? Is my thinking correct (2 tables, tbl_item and tbl_offer) or would you suggest something better? Will the tbl_offer get a lot of data that way? Mind you also that every once a year there is the need of updating the cardboards' prices (all will rise/fall at the same percentage) and, furthermore, we are talking for about approx. 100 different types of cardboards, each with about 15 different dimension combinations.

I am not sure if I had to post this message to the Tables section of the forum or here but I think here is better as the main problem is the form part.


Thank you all in advance and my apologies once again for the low level of my programming skills :(

Queries :: Query Parameter Input On A Form (combo Box)

Jul 15, 2014

I have a table which holds information on audits that have been carried out on staff member's actions. The 'Supervisor' field is populated via a combo box which is linked to a separate table (tblSupervisors).

I am now trying to build a query to allow me to extract all audits that have been carried out on a specific supervisor - rather than the criteria to be [Enter Supervisor Name] and allowing text entry, I thought it would be better to have form that pops up with a combo box that is used to select the supervisor (from tblSupervisors);

So far:

- Form "Supervisor_Select" is created, and has a combo box that looks up from tblSupervisors

- Macros as specified in the instructions are created (Open Dialog, Close Dialog, OK and Cancel)

- Query is done, all bar the criteria expression on the desired field.

- Module is created as described in the instructions, and is called "Supervisor_Select"

I have tried putting the following in the criteria;

[Forms]![Supervisor_Select]![cboSupervisor], however I think I am missing the bit where the query opens the "Supervisor_Select" form?? Will this only work from a button where the on click event runs the 'Open Dialog' macro and then runs the query?

Cont Form With Combo Boxes

I have a continous form that once the combo box filters are selected, shows the applicable records. Included in records, I've put a bound combo box that allows the user to fill in that particular field. This works with the first record but when you attempt to select the other records, all the combo boxes disappear. What am I doing wrong here??

Multiple Combo Boxes On The Form

Jul 17, 2006

Hi,

I need help in the following 2 problems:

I have two combo boxes on the form and print button.
In one combo box showing numbers 1,2,3,4 and 5.
Other combo box showing logical operator =,<,>
User is going to select from one combo box logical operator and from other number "means class field".
Print button prints the report. Report is based on the query.
In the query in criteria line I put the code
[FORMS]![MAINFORM]![CMB_CLASS]
It works for one combo box. Problem is to get criteria from second combo box or concatenate the both criteria’s. In query criteria line it should show like <2 or =3 or what ever user is selecting.

Second problem is in the same line. Three text boxes and 2 combo boxes showing "OR" and "AND" For example in one text box user enters last_name and then he select "OR", second text box enter city and then he select "AND" from second combo box and third text box enter department. After selection he is going to click the print button to print the report.

I really appreciate if anyone knows the solution or they used this type of thing in there application.

Thanks

Autofill From Many Combo Boxes In One Form

Sep 14, 2006

Hi all! :D
I'm trying to make a form to autofill with customer data (from a database), with 4 columns (= 4 customers). Each column contains on top a combo box and below 5 text boxes with address, phone etc.
So i created a form and placed a combo-box (from wizard) with the option "Find a record on my form based on the value i selected in my combo box".
The problem is that this one combo box controls all the text boxes. Even if i create an other one, it still controls all of them.

So i'd like to ask: How can i link a combo box, to autofill specific textboxes?:confused:

Thanks... :)

Combo Boxes And Queries Again - Two On A Form

Mar 4, 2005

I have re-written this question as I think I managed to cause confusion!

(I really do need help!) My problem involves three tables. The first table is NAMES with an auto-number key field called NamesID.

The second table is a list of Dance Classes, called CLASSES again with an auto-number key field called ClassesID.

The third table is a list of MEMBERS in each dance class.

Obviously, the MEMBERS can belong to many CLASSES, and each of the CLASSES can consist of many MEMBERS.



My aim is to add a new record in MEMBERS by using a ComboBox containing records from the NAMES table.

On the form, I have a combo-box which shows me the list of CLASSES

(ComboClasses). I click on the class.

I then click on the NAMES combo-box, click on a name and want it to appear in the table of MEMBERS for the class shown in the CLASSES combo-box.

The problem

I am selecting the name using “ Select * From NAMES where Names.NamesID=[Forms]![FormName]![ComboNames] (supplied by supersubra) but how do I get the ClassesID into MEMBERS record.

At the moment, if I add a name that member appears in every class, or I have to manually insert the ClassID.

Filtering Combo Boxes Within A Form

Jul 5, 2006

I have a form that we are creating to issue project numbers. We have about 80 different clients. I have set up a combo box for the client name, where we can choose the client from the drop down menu. We want the form to filter according to the client name that you choose. For example, if you pick Lawrence as the client name, the next combo box is the project name and I want it to only show the project names that have been assigned to Lawrence in the past. Can someone please help me on how to do this and if it is even possible at all? Thank you so much for your help!! I have been wrestling with this for about a week and a half now.

Using Multiple Combo Boxes In One Form

Jan 18, 2012

I made a form from a "CS-PG1-PG2" table. then i added a subform that contains these 3 fields plus some more information. What I'm trying to do is to insert in the main form 3 combo boxes:

CS (discount group): not to be linked/synchronized with the other two combos;
PG1 (product group);
PG2 (product group2): it must show the filtered results from PG1 combo box.

As long as I insert the CS combo box, everything is fine. Whenever i add the other two combo boxes, or just the PG1 combo box, then the two of them conflict and i get zero records.

All i want to do is to add these 3 combos and give an option to filter the results by CS or PG, plus give some sort of hierarchy order between the PG1 and the PG2.

Unbound Combo Boxes And A Form With Allow Edit Set To 'NO'

Oct 29, 2005

Hi folks,

I have a form with a record source property set to a query which pulls the data by joining two tables. The form also has four navigation buttons (first, previous, next, last) and a ADD record, SAVE record, EDIT record, DELETE record buttons.

I also have a unbound combo box (control source iset to 'empty') in the form's header section and its record source property set to an SQL (SELECT DISTINCTROW tblProjts1.chrProjectName, tblProjts1.intProjectID FROM tblProjts1 ORDER BY tblProjts1.chrProjectName;). It's columns count is 2, bound column is set to 2 and column width is set to 3.1146";0".

In the edit button, I have the code "Me.AllowEdits = True" so that the user can edit the data.

Also, I have the following code on form's "on current" and "after update" events so that it will flip back to allow edit to 'NO'
Me.AllowEdits = False

Also, I have the following code on the combo box's 'after update' event.
Dim strSearch As String

strSearch = "[intProjectID] = " & Me![cboProjectID]

'Find the record that matches the control
Me.Requery
Me.RecordsetClone.FindFirst strSearch
Me.Bookmark = Me.RecordsetClone.Bookmark.

My Problem:

When I run the form and select a record from a combo box it populates the fields (all memo data type) in the form with correct linked record, ONLY when my allow edit property is set to 'YES'.

With allow edit set to 'NO', then when a tried to make a selection from a combo box it doesn't allow me to select any record. The combo box seems to be locked up and I can't select any record.

Does anyone come across such a problem with cbo box and 'allow edits' property in the forms.

Your help is much appreciated.

VBA Code Problem With Combo Boxes On A Form

Dec 2, 2005

Im using the following vba Code to try and populate a text box with multiple line based on selections from a list box.

Private Sub Precautions_AfterUpdate()
Dim Criteria As String
Dim ctl As Control
Dim Itm As Variant

Set ctl = Me.Precautions

For Each Itm In ctl.ItemsSelected
If Len(Criteria) = 0 Then

Criteria = ctl.ItemData(Itm)
Else
Criteria = Criteria & "," & ctl.ItemData(Itm)
End If
Next Itm
Me.description = Criteria

End Sub

Its working to the extent that it adds the options that are selected from the list box but I actually want it to put the 2nd column of the list box which is hidden into the text box. How do i edit this code to add column 2 rather than column 1 when an option is clicked?

Any help would be appreciated

Ive attached the database (sorry its very simple) Open form tester to see what i mean.

Help Needed Filtering A Form Using Combo Boxes

Jul 26, 2006

Please help. My inability to achieve this is very frustrating.

I have a tabular form based on a query, which returns a large number of records. I need users to be able to filter the records to display data relating to what they have entered in a number of combo boxes.

For example I have fields showing Product ID, Manufacturer ID, Purchase Order number and due date. Each of these fields has a corresponding unbound combo box where users can select values that appear in the table. I need to be able to filter the form based on what is in these combo boxes. I.e. Filler for a product ID to show all purchase orders numbers and due dates relating to that product ID or filter for a manufacturer ID and due date to show all Product IDs and purchase orders relating to that a manufacturer and date.

Ideally this would be achieved by pressing a command button.

The query, table and combo boxes are all built and work fine but I am unable to get the filter to work, I am using Access 97 and am not very familiar with visual basic. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
